What to include
Separate itemsUse one item per line, commas, or semicolons so each value can be sorted.

Good output

- The selected order is A-Z or Z-A as needed.

Avoid
Sorting a paragraphUse clear item separators rather than a paragraph when each item should be sorted separately.
Expecting semantic groupingAlphabetical sorting does not group items by topic, priority, or meaning.
Limits
This tool sorts pasted text items only. It does not infer categories, priorities, translations, or locale-specific collation rules.
Review final order when names, accents, symbols, or mixed languages require strict sorting rules.
